Read 1 Corinthians 6 in the Bible1 Corinthians 6:7
A fault.
◦ He forbad not all judgements of controversies, but only signified that it was a fault, and that it proceeded of some injuries done one to another, & imperfections, that they so molested one another: and that it had been more agreeable to Christian perfection and charity, rather to tolerate and suffer a small injury, than to draw his fellow to judgement seats.
- ◦ Going to law not forbidden: but to agree otherwise, better.

1 Corinthians 6:6
Contendeth in judgment.
◦ To be given much to brabbling and litigiousness for every trifle, to spend a pound rather than lose a penny, the Apostle much reprehendeth in Christian men. For a Christian man to draw another to the judgements, seats, and courts of Heathen Princes (which then only reigned) and not to suffer their controversies and quarrels to be taken up among themselves brotherly and peaceably, was a great fault: as, for one Catholic to draw another for mere trifles before secular or heretical Officers, is a very unchristian part.
